Trying to help us learn from history correctly. They/Them. Disaster Bi.
Pinned
Greetings. Currently telling everyone the wonderful story of the wacky fun of being in the Donner Party. Sometimes I throw in disaster and weather stories. Sometimes I stop being polite and start getting real. Also part of a 90s sci-fi podcast crew with dozens of fans. Dozens!
*with no emotion whatsoever* this is absolutely fascinating.
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?

Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

Schumer: ball’s in your court

Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain

Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls

Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families

Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

I can assure you that terrible things are still happening in Minneapolis/St Paul even if the media wants to pretend mission is accomplished.

Meanwhile mules and other pack animals and a couple of horses return to Johnson's Ranch. Will Eddy returns: he is desperate to save his family but is not ready for rugged hiking.

Joseph Verrot, a voyageur, accompanied him back to care for the animals along the way.

"... But, with God's help, spring will soon smile upon us."

I hate Patrick Breen so much. He is useless.

Virginia Reed though takes comfort in his faith and decides that if her father is still alive and rescue comes, she will convert to Catholism.

If it helps you I guess...

February 10, 1847. "Beautiful morning. Wind W. Froze hard last night. To day thawing in the Sun... J. Denton trying to borrow meat for Graves. Had none to give. They have nothing but hides. All are entirely out of meat but a little we have. Our hides are nearly all eat up."

Obviously fascist Clark regime senators are bedfellows with both PsyCorps (who want to do some evil shit) AND Mr Morden who was cheating on Londo the whole time!!!

Shadows are in the Earth government!!!

Anyway it blows up the Shadows and nearly blows up the White Star and also blows up the Markab (RIP) jump gate so no more grave robbing. The rangers are free, and Tucker leaves satisfied that all is well.

Except all isn't well back on Earth.

A totally in character plan that would make Hannibal Smith proudly smoke a cigar with a shit eating grin.

The White Star has its own jump drive. Shadow doesn't know this.

Sheridan: "Hey yo dawg I heard you like jumping so I jumped in the jump gate."

Which is like dividing by zero.

White Star crew goes to Zagros 7. Delenn shits herself when the Centauri are gone and the Shadows are there. Everyone shits themselves.

Except Sheridan who has always been red flag suicidal since that time forgetting due process with Mr Morden.

He comes up with a plan.

Garibaldi tries to keep Tucker Smallwood distracted as he makes the rounds. Londo tells him he saw the shadow vessel in a dream while wearing his season 1 purple. That's foreshadowing.

Of course G'kar read about it in the Narn Bible or the Narn Quran. It even has pictures in it.

He asks for Zagros 7 in the post breakup and also asks if Lord Refa is seeing anyone. Nice try, Londo.

Anyway Sheridan and friends do a sneak and we get the White Star: our badass new battleship that is part Minbari, part Vorlon, and all Ranger.

They go to Zagros 7.

Sheridan is in a bit of a conundrum as Tucker Smallwood is trying to do damage control on Keffer's suicide Shadow revelation. And also they don't have a battleship.

But they do actually... a kick ass one. But first...

Londo breaks up with Mr Morden who handles it well.

Babylon 5 S3E1: "Matters of Honor"

The opening is kick ass. Best one yet.

Renfest Ranger Marcus Cole joins the cast. He barely escapes with his life from a Centauri blockade and comes to B5 to ask for help liberating the rangers on Zagros 7.

How is Chris in the year 2026? Was Joe expecting a bit? Why is there a fraudulent station record? Will anything be traced back to B5? Refa?! These questions and more answered on this week's Babcom Podcast!

Going back will be William Eddy. It is apparent the man is still not well enough to continue on foot. He will return to Johnson's Ranch the next morning along with Verrot. Tucker and Bill Coon will guard the remaining horses and the majority of food and supplies.

The snow is becoming impossible for the animals: almost 4 feet deep. As they approach Mule Springs, they will come to a decision. The rescue will happen on foot: no animals can make the climb in the snow.

A couple will go back to Johnson's Ranch with the pack animals.

POP QUIZ, HOT SHOT! The ship is stuck at warp 5! What does Archer do? Ridges or no ridges? RIP James Avery. You were the best Uncle and Shredder.

The rain and snow melt made this a difficult crossing, particularly for the wading animals. One horse almost drowned. The crossing took half a day and at nightfall takes them to the snow line, where there will be no more grass for the horses.
